"Hey look an update. They talked about it for months, must be big"

"Yeah, seen the trailer? Thargoiiiiiiiiiiids!!!!"

*Update cometh in*

"We got Thargoiiiiiiiiiiiids!!!!"

"Yeah, but I still can't dock because of that darn NPC sitting on my assigned docking pad, my multi player sessions average out on about 8 minutes from random disconnect to random disconnect, my instances are empty again like pre 2.3. and all third party sites have gone blank because the API has auth problems"

"But Thargoiiiiiiiiids!!!!1111111111"

*Bugfix for update cometh*

"They fixed it! They fixed... oh... they just rolled back the get-a-billionaire-by-doing-missions-in-one-night-bug they accidentally implemented, all the other stuff is still broken"

"At least, we got Tharrrrrrrrrgoidss!!!!!!"

*Tuesday morning bug fix cometh in*

"Hey, great, they finally fixed the problems. Everything will be great again, read: API auth fixed!"

*API fails miserably*

"Are you out of your mind? That's nearly a week without where-to-find-what-databases and the like. All manual. ?"

"But you got Thargoids!"

Oh come on....

Hi everyone,

- Reduced the ArmourPiercing value of Anti-Xeno Dumbfire Missiles from .05 to .001

I was doing just fine against one the other day in my Battleconda. Only had to leave because I ran out of ammo. Took out 3 hearts, though.

So what about PAs literally looking like pellets or the friends list not working? Or how about instancing being really bum broke? No? I guess fixing currency, which makes literally no difference in the long run, matters more than fixing broken gameplay.
